Statement on Governor Newsom’s Healthcare Expansion

The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) California released the following statement from Roxanne Sanchez, President of SEIU CA and SEIU Local 1021:

“As SEIU members who work providing health care to California’s diverse population and who work hard so that our own families can access health care, we are pleased to see Governor Gavin Newsom made the health of Californians his first priority upon taking office. Governor Newsom has the full support of SEIU members in the fight to reduce prescription drug prices, expand access to affordable care, eliminate health care inequities and finally achieve the promise of universal, quality care for all Californians. Our fight will not stop until no person is left out — regardless of age, background, income level or immigration status.”
